She nodded, taking his hand |
|  |
|
| |
|
"Shit what car are we feeling?" I asked, walking into the garage and looking at the wall of keys, indescisive. |

She walked to the lines of hooks full of keys, grabbed one, and led him to the GT-R she'd been working on. "This one" |

I nodded, taking the keys before getting in and starting to car, pulling out of the garage and starting down the driveway, looking in the rearview mirror of the now fading image of the mansion, smiling slightly at my past dreams, now my living reality. |

She nodded, plastering a smile on her face. Her phone dinged with a notification from her high school best friend, Cadence, asking how the relationship was going. Emily responded it was going good, Cadence telling Emily to make sure to not be around Caden too much that he gets bored of her. Emily mentally noted it |

I glanced down at her phone, reading the text swiftly before tearing my gaze away, blanking for a moment as I gnawed on the inside of my cheek, an alternative to saying some bullshit i'd regret.

| |
|
Emily turned to Caden. "Are you excited?" |
| |
|
| |
|
"Yeah, i've never been to this place so, ready to see if it's good or not." I mused, slapping on a soft smile and acting as if I wasn't absolutely crumbling inside. |
